A Lover's Regret
A Lover’s Regret
Never appreciated you, I did, until you were gone.
You gave me all and I gave you nothing.
I long for you, like a troubled soul longs for dawn.
I do not deserve the holy essence of your being.
You were patient and forgiving, loving and tender;
I long for a glance into your beautiful black eyes.
Always generous and warm, you were; never a pretender.
A week is all we had; never enough; bittersweet goodbyes.
I long for a kiss from your sweet lips.
You make me want to be a better man.
I long for your slender waist to hold, which floats and dips.
All I need is to be with you, so meticulously, I dwell and plan.
All I need is one more chance.
I will undo my wrongs and honor our timeless romance.
